Re: Nom/Acc vs. Erg/Abs
Föro is perfectly tripartite under all situations, not a single split-ergativity affair here. That seems really unlikely. All languages have at least some features of both ergativity and accusativity in them, even English. Just look at English's ergative verbs: 'I walk" vs. "I walk my dog...

Re: Nom/Acc vs. Erg/Abs
Read this. It's an overview of ergativity and its ramifications, and it greatly helps with understanding how and why ergative alignment happens.
Re: Niđalos
Explain your cases more. What do you mean by "like accusative but not really" and "like genitive but wider"?

No, esas lenguas no me gustan. Y mis amigos no pueden hablar en alemán o otros lenguas alemanas (sin inglés). Nōn, hās nōn amō. Atque amīcī meī nōn fabulāre Germānicē aliīsve in linguīs Germānicīs (absque Anglicō) possunt. No, I don't like those languages. And my friends can't speak German or other...

Re: So, I took one look at somebody's conlang, and realized.
1. Learn IPA. 2. Learn basic linguistics terminology. You can do this by reading other people's conlang's grammars/sketches and looking up terms you don't understand. I would recommend looking at shorter sketches of conlangs as opposed to full-on grammars because looking up all the terms will make g...

Re: Micamo gives in to fads
Ejectives are a form of glottalic consonants. So are implosives. And glottalized resonants. Which does not mean that glottalized resonants are ejectives. Not all glottalic consonants are ejectives.

If anyone could do a French guide that'd be great! Or if you don't want to do a guide just a French Q&A? I'd do an English one but I think it's probably pointless, for obvious reasons. :-) I may only be in french III but I'm one of the best in my class and I'm pretty sure I'm good enough to be ...
